This can not be happening! This jerk again!? Look at him looking at me with those beautiful eyes. Just who does he think he is looking so unbelievably gorgeous? Wait what? Emma stop it!

"Hellooo? Earth to princess.." Said Ethan. I finally snapped out of my daydream. I can't stand it when he calls me that"Stop calling me that! My name is Emma you tool."

"Ooo feisty are we?" He said smiling. Ugh! I just glared at him.

"Um I take it you guys have already met?" Garret asks breaking the tension between this bonehead and I. I forgot the guys were there, now they're just staring at us questioningly and probably a little amused.

"Yup." I said getting up to get some paint for my assignment.

The rest of the period was very awkward. Most of the time Ethan would just stare at me awkwardly and smile every time I rolled my eyes at him. And it wasn't a friendly smile either. It was a am I making you uncomfortable type of smile. It was almost impossible to focus on my painting; I was doing a mermaid. For some reason I have this weird fascination with mythological creatures. Maybe because I feel I can relate to them, except I'm not a myth. I'm actually pretty real if I do say so myself. Well anyways by this time I was so irritated by Ethan's glares I used any excuse to get out of my seat and away from him. Thankfully I was running low on water for my brushes so I gladly stood up for a refill.

"Nice butt." I heard and of course it was Ethan. What did he mean now? I turn and try to look at what he was talking about. I couldn't see what they were talking about, by this time all the guy at the table were laughing. Except for Adam of course, he seemed to be completely unamused and actually a little annoyed. Well that makes two of us. I try and feel what was down there and I realize that I'm touching paint, paint! I sat down so quickly my water almost spilt. How embarrassing!

"hahaha you should have seen the look on your face." says Ethan.

"Oh shut up." I snap back at him.

"Is that the thanks I get for giving you the heads up? sheesh I could have let you walk around school like that." he says sarcastically.

"Well I bet you would have just loved that." I say almost immediately.

"You know I was going to offer to help you clean it up but you don't deserve my help!" he almost yells.

"Oh bite me!" I'm pretty sure I yelled that. I finally realize that we both inched our way out of our seats and leaning over the table only inches away from each other's faces. Now that I'm this close there's this weird tension between us. Oh God don't tell me I'm actually digging this meat head. But now looking at him this close there's something almost angelic about him. And the way he's looking at me is sending shivers down my spine. His head starts to move closer to mine. His lips closer and closer every second. Why can't I move? Why can't I bring myself to look away or to back down. Oh gosh I have to do something. He's so close now his nose is almost touching mine. My heart is pounding in my chest. His warm breath cascades across my face and just as he's so close I can almost taste him. Something inside me snaps and with a swift movement of my hand. Splash! The water I use for my brushes somehow splashed up.

"What the hell!" Yells Ethan "How did that happen?" I look around and realize all the guys are laughing, except Adam of course. No Adam is giving me this weird look. Oh no did he see what I just did? No no no this can't be, maybe he didn't see anything. I have to leave no. Besides I'm all wet. I run to the teacher to ask to go to the bathroom. She takes one look at me and I don't even have to ask.

"yes you may go but take your stuff, the bell should ring in a few minutes." she says. I just nod shyly and quickly walk back to the table without looking up at anyone, I grab my stuff and walk towards the door. But right before I walk out I hear.
